alla hästar kan!! kan du??
Varför jobba hästen med motstånd när det går att jobba hästen med hjälp av avslappning? Det är väldigt svårt att få en häst avslappnad när du jobbar med motstånd och oppositions. Med opposition menar Craig tex att när du rider en öppna, så använder du innerskänkeln till yttertygeln. Vilket får hästen att inte använda sin kropp korrekt. Läs detta och reflektera, lite samma som jag skrev om i går och tidigare hänvisade jag till en film om skillnader på piaff och passage.
Man kanske förstår lite bättre vad som menas här när man ser den, plus att i alla fall jag hellre hade varit en häst åt någon som red mjukt, känsligt och följsamt istället för hårt.... och återigen man kan säga hur många ggr som helst att man är super mjuk! Jag tror dig när du är så pass avslappnad och följsam i din sits och när dina hjälper är osynliga, hästen glad och alltid avspänd och arbetar med sin kropp på ett för den optimalt sett!
Jag är själv inte där än, men jag har i alla fall börjat förstå att jag inte är det och kan göra något åt det! ;)
"When properly understood the nature, measure and progression of time with the horse and training becomes obvious. When sanity is restored to the horse, and the educated mind has sanity in its grasp, a great calm arises which makes everything possible.
Each horse progresses in its own time and through a self revealing natural process governed by the sum of the mutual wisdom at hand. Fear from anysource is the greatest obstacle.
The use of opposition as a source of control has limited value. Opposition always creates its own resistances. As a method of control, it is relatively easily learned because in follows human instinct. There is a wide range of skill levels but very few are skilled enough to be able to make the system work. When it does work, it works badly.
Harmony is far more effective; it is at play when the aids are used in conjunction with the natural movements of the horse. It is more difficult to learn because one must be both mindful and effective in control in ways which are counter to human instincts. It however always works. Every horse reaches its highest level.
Horse or human wisdom are not far from each other. One must learn how to evoke and awaken the horse's wisdom first. To achieve this is to be actively kind, gentle and regular internally and externally. Such actions engender trust and linking which becomes habitual.
Opposition and harmony as systems of control do not really co-mingle well with each other and in the end the horse must be the one chosen but when and how that occurs is about how the individual horse person sees the process. People spend lifetimes in one camp or the other and some spend their life struggling in the middle.
To spend a life in service to another is an honor and a principle of sanity. We have chosen the horse as that path. So it is that as we mature we progress to a dressage based in the harmony of the horse and eventually oppositional systems fall to the wayside. Harmony as a method is the source of our kindness and joy. - Craig Steven"
